Bleuet de France

In France, the bleuet de France (French pronunciation: [blø.ɛ də fʁɑ̃s]), a cornflower, is the symbol of memory for and solidarity with veterans, victims of war and terrorism, similar to the Commonwealth remembrance poppy. The sale of bleuet de France badges on 11 November and 8 May is used to finance charitable works for those causes.
